The Atlantic adventure is safe, comfortable, and still holds the same exotic beauty and mysterious wonder that attracted the brave explorers of long ago. Ships are built with double hulls and are now equipped with the latest in navigation technology. Adventurers are able to enjoy the comforts of home in this far-off place.
Naturalists and biologists are also part of the team who will give you more information on the various wildlife as well as the plants and animals found in the icy waters around the continent and even those that thrive on the harsh environment above sea level.
With glaciers and icebergs of impressive size and beauty, they are both fearsome and awesome to behold. Glaciers and icebergs can be as tall as the highest skyscraper and can be as wide as five even ten city blocks. Not to mention that the exposed area usually just a small part, more specifically just a mere 10% of an iceberg is floating above water and the rest remains submerged.
But the beauty can be breathtaking! With every shape imaginable – it may look like the Arc de Triomphe. With a touch of artistic inspiration, Mother Nature creates icebergs striped and adorned with different colors like blue, green, black, yellow and brown.
An Antarctica adventure also gives you a first-hand experience with some of nature’s most amazing animals such as marine mammals, seabirds, seals, sea lions as well as rare species of plants and animals found in no other part of the world but in the vast expanse of the land and seas of Antarctica.
